ton of "a sufficient supply" We know
of farmer whose horses are always a
model of beauty and health who says he
never allows horse t. take at a time
more than one pail of water, nor will he
repeat it more than three times day.
Another says give them all they viii
drink. One of our most successful sheep
growers states that he, and his father
before him, never allowed his sheep ac-
cess TO standing or running water. His
sheep have always been peculiarly free
from disease, and always fat and thrifty
without grain. This is an important item
to those farmers whose pastures are not
provided with water. On the other hand,
as far as our observation has gone, hogs
TO thrive need a bountiful supply of good
water which they can sup many times
day.
But returning to feeding stuffs, the sci
entific study of the composition of cheap
rations for stock, designed to be adapted
to the varied use we make of the stock,
whether for horses or for dairy stock or
fattenlng animals, is one which demands
Sni is receiving much attention. 1t can
only be directed wisely when based upon
scientific analysis and experiment. For
this we need our Experimental Stations
They viii ultimately give us the compost
ton of the best rations, whose value may
be illustrated in the experience of the
Paris Omnibus Company who wanted to
find a cheaper ration than they had been
using for their horses, of which they had
several thousand. They applied to a
chemist to analyze their feeds, receiving
from him new and cheaper combination
of food whereby they saved several
thosand dollars annually. All honor TO
our efficient workers in this direction.
The silo is rapidly coming to the front

GENERAL LOGANS SECOND
BOOK

General Logan at the time of his
death had completed ais second book
1.-The Volunteer Soldier of America,
and it was ready for the printer. So
soon as it was generally known that it
was in existence, publishers from all
parts of the country wrote to Mrs.
Logan making offers for its publica-
ton. Not few called in person ana
used their best influence to get the
work into which it was understood
that the dead hero had put 50 much
thought and strength and affection.
IL was his last and best tribute to the
one interest he loved mOst-the volun-
teer soldier. From Philadelphia, New
York and Chicago came publishers
urging their special advantages, and
pleading for the opportunity to sell the
book of the hour. Mrs. Logan eager
and anxious to do the best thing for
the books future, talked with her
friends and compared the offers of
the various publishers. 1t transpires
that an enterprising Chicago publisher,
Mr. II. 5. Peale, has secured the prize,
and has given to Mrs. Logan the same
terms Gen. Grant received for his
Memoirs. Mr.. Peale is of the firm of
r. S. Peale & Co., of Wabash avenue;
he is young man of push and sagac-
ity, and his triumph over the best
known publishers of the United States
is a matter of congratulation to the
Chicago public. Mrs. Logan favored
his offer because she preferred the
hook should be published in Chicago,
and also from the fact that Mr.. Peale
controls the largest subscription ~
ganizati0n in the country. The work
is destined to have a notable fame.
1t is a history of military education in
this country, exhaustive and remark
able. General Logan has reared his
lasting monument in this effort for
the beloved volunteer soldier. 1t will
raise the prestige OF the citizen SOL
der to the higher plane where Gener-
al Logan always insisted his pedestal
should be. 1t is to be illustrated in
the full sense of that term, and will
contain many pictorial "reminiscences
of historic battle fields. Mrs. Logan's
interests are well cared for in the con-
tract. She receives two thirds of the
profits of the book, and will be fully
protected in every respect. The man.
uscript gives every evidence of the
most careful preparation, and it would
seem that General Logan must have
had some knowledge OF the fact that
he was doing his last service for the
soldiers when he wrote this wonderful
story of valor and fortitude and hero
ism.

there are very few rsons out of the
whole number who use horses who
know how to properly drive them.
Besides the very vicious habit many
have of jerking at the reins, thus
wounding the mouth, they also have
the defect OF not knowing how to hold
the reins, seemingly thinking that if
the reins are held up that it constitutes
driving. The great driver, Hiram
Woodruff, and all experts in the bust.
ness since his time, have known and
practieed on the fact, that the rein is
the medium of conversation between
driver and horse, and that to properly
drive, every movement of the rein
must mean something, and the mean.
ing of the movement must be mutual.
ly understood between the driver and
horse. The rein is not a medium of
abuse and cruelty in the hands of
driUer. but only in the hands of the
ignorant and heartless, who do not
know how to drive. To be a driver,
and good horse educator, requires
experience, and thorough
knowledge of what is needful.

Three White Roses.

BYM.E.F.
The fairest flowers of all that grows,
In this beautiful world is the pure white rose
Three white roses We're sent to me,
Three white roses from over the sea:
Three white roses, and loving hands
Folded the letter in far off lands,
Sealed the missive and sent IL 10 me
With three white roses from ever the sea.
The ship that bore them over the sea
Rolled and tossed with the roses three,
The waves ran high, they reached the mast,
But the letters aud roses came at last;
The Joy they brOugh t. we need not tell.
The three white roses, and 'all is we'll"
Eyes were dimmed but they could see
By the light Of the lamp, "For the Trinity"
Tear drops fall and heart is stirred
By only line, or a single word,
Tear drops tall near the roses white
The treasured roses that came tonight.
They came from over the dark blue sea,
Love, the letter. and roses three.
Painfully sad. yet il must be,
That hearts should be torn asunder,-
Brown eyes look out over the sea,
Mine, ON the roses sent 10 me
And we wonder, and wonder, and wonder.
